Fresh water vent screen April 10, 2024, 04:36:10 pm It looks like I need a fresh water vent screen. It looks 3/4” diameter. Anyone have a source for these? All I see are 1 inch. Tony
Re: Fresh water vent screen Reply #1 – April 11, 2024, 05:29:52 pm Hi Tony; Is this at the inlet to the house water system from the hose? I had that valve fail, the O-ring fell apart and I just sealed off that input. I haven't seen it in a while. If I were you I'd get a small particle filter and put that between your hose and that house water connection to keep sand and other particles out of the house water. You can also use that filter to fill the fresh water tank. I exclusively use just the water from my tank. If you do hook up to a hose supply, remember to use a suitable pressure regulator to prevent damage to your house system. RonB
Re: Fresh water vent screen Reply #2 – April 11, 2024, 05:58:10 pm Easy enough to change the entire unit! Although, as others have done, don't use the city water at all and just fill the on board tank and save yourself time and trouble.Amazon.com: RV City Water Inlet with Check Valve, RV Water Fill Inlet...

Re: Fresh water vent screen Reply #3 – April 11, 2024, 07:04:29 pm It’s the vent line for the fresh water tank. Im not one to use the city water hook up. When you open the door it’s the small O ring with a screen. Mine was plugged. After cleaning it the small screen fell apart. Tony

That's a cat of a different color.I've had zero experience with that one... it's purpose is to relieve back pressure when you are filling the on-board tank. If it weren't for that vent you would get a bath when the tank became over filled. Can't help with the screen replacement, hadn't heard of this problem before! It's only there to prevent debris getting in and allows air to come out.
